or dial *#*#4636#*#*

Scroll down to select network type

CDMA = EDGE

EvDo = 3G

LTE = 4G

personally I have mine on LTE only ( live in Houston strong 4G network (D/L speeds constantly in midteens to low 20's Mbps ) and my battery isnt that bad.
[Thunderbolt General] nosympathy:
lol for me it makes me remember why I left verizon in the frist place. I maybe get .50 down at my house if I am lucky on 3g. My house is like an anti-cellphone but still with AT&T I was almost always at 1.5 down. But with LTE I always pull 10-11 ish at my house, so I have no complaints :D
[Thunderbolt General] mbrown3460:
thanks I will try any cut now..I have been doing the dailing method...3g off is very good on the battery
[Thunderbolt General] 1454:
I used to get much better results with my old winmo device, I'm not sure why? The droid 2 was just downright awful for 3g speeds. The most I ever remember seeing was maybe 1.0. Maybe different phone act differently with the speed test like apps. Or different radios? I'm not that smart, I just know that there has been a difference between htc and my moto phone.
[Thunderbolt General] phatspirit2:
If anyone have sperodic 4g, switches back and forth on 3g and 4g but you want to it to be consistant with 4g, turn it to LTE only and it'll stay lock on 4g. My house is in the 4G coverage but I'm near the edge. I would get 4g if i move near windows but if i moved to center of my house, it switches to 3g. This drove me nuts. So found out about this shortcut and now after setting to 4G LTE only, I'm lock onto 4g everywhere in my home...Happy camper. Battery life, what battery life? I'm making through the day with 25% left when I come home. Medium to heavy user too.

[Thunderbolt General] TheMightiest1981:
I downloaded anycut this morning before going to work and my charge meter was at 96%, 14 hours and 16 minutes later after talking, we browsing with 3g, using my bluetooth and wifi my battery life is still at 37%. Ladies and Gentleman, I'd say we have a winner!
[Thunderbolt General] MYxdaUSERNAME:
definitely easier to just use network by mangelow..
[Thunderbolt General] Cg006:
So i set my phone to cdma PRL auto..

and i was playing with th phone running emulators for about 2 hours.. batt dropped to around 70%. The Battery is already much better....

Now i want to try how long it will last for tomorrow if i leave it in 3g or if i set it to exclusive LTE. In NY verizon has pretty good coverage.

Im sure in 3g it should last a pretty long time. I am assuming this phone should have a pretty efficient 3g chip by now that wont suck dry your battery dry
[Thunderbolt General] th3_g00b:
Yeah. Went to work with just 3g and I went about 8 hour and only hit 86% :)
[Thunderbolt General] Cg006:
damn.. so LTE is sucking like 3x (made up number) more batt power. Guys please keep updating this.. looks like were definetly up to something here lol

BTW im using the stock rom.. havent rooted yet. im gonna leave it in 3g for tomorrow all day and see how i fare..then LTE the next.
[Thunderbolt General] th3_g00b:
Not so much the LTE. Someone else posted that them having LTE only gives them a good amount of use throughout the day with medium to heavy usage. The problem is that the 3g and 4g never cancel each other out, they are both always on....
[Thunderbolt General] Cg006:
Ive been doing alot of reading around here.... i didnt catch that piece....i guess i will go LTE only tomorrow for work. If LTE dont suck so much power... i may as well leave it on :)

I guess this can be addressed in a new software update?

I LOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEEE these speeds with LTE. just did a test, 15.78mbps down.... epic!
[Thunderbolt General] Tbolt02:
Sweet thanks, this should help some with the battery life.
[Thunderbolt General] adamhlj:
I would think that once it is locked onto LTE, it won't drain as much juice as it was. Because before it probably switches back and forth so it is constantly looking for that 4G signal. I was at the verizon store today after work, and when I got there, all they had for their coverage was 1x. The guy said that the converage had been switching back and forth. He left to help other people and i got into the phones settings to change the signal. LTE only got perfect 4G. EvDo wouldn't connect for some reason. CDMA gave the 1x. I also tried to see if i could browse the web while on the different settings, and it only worked with LTE.
[Thunderbolt General] Tbolt02:
Daaaaaaammnnn....wish I had LTE here!
[Thunderbolt General] Jimmy058910:
Hmmm are you sure 3g and 4g are always on?

It'd be nice to hear feedback on battery levels for LTE only because how it comes stock (both auto), its an extreme drain
[Thunderbolt General] mi7chy:
I live in good LTE coverage. In default auto everything battery life is poor. When forced to LTE only there's very noticeable improvement.
[Thunderbolt General] th3_g00b:
Well from what I've come across, they are always on. If that wasn't the case then I don't think people would say LTE only would make a difference. :P
[Thunderbolt General] distortedloop:
Does forcing the phone to LTE only disable your ability to use voice and data simultaneously?

I'm not too familiar with Verizon's network architecture. We have three radios so to speak (cdma for voice, EVDO for 3G, and LTE for 4G)?
[Thunderbolt General] adamhlj:
No, having your phone on LTE only still allows you to use voice and data simultaneously. I tried it out last night.
[Thunderbolt General] edward_g:
This has really helped me to enjoy my TBolt. I am in a 3g only area. Now with this fix not only am I getting a great battery improvement but the phone is faster because it's not wasting time to see if 4g is there or not. Also the 3g icon is quickly in the task bar working. Before the 3g icon would be gone and nothing would happen for an annoying amount of time until 3g came back. If I ever get to a 4g area I will turn it on per instructions and take it for a spin but this phone on 3g alone is very nice and fast as it is. All I need really.

Thanks

Ed
[Thunderbolt General] Chris Hansen:
It would be better for those that say there is a noticeable improvement to actually provide quantitative results (i.e. I used to get x hours of battery, now I'm getting x+y), so that the rest of know what to expect or if it's worth it.
[Thunderbolt General] nosympathy:
I can do this with LTE/4G turned on. I was at work for 9 hours 45 mins the other day, got home and was at 82%.
[Thunderbolt General] 1454:
How's the service where you're at? I only make it about 5-6 hours till I'm below 50%. I can't make it a whole day period. What are your settings?
[Thunderbolt General] shaddix2:
I agree with above posters, it makes more sense to disable 3g than disable 4g if you're in a 4g area. Your data will come much faster, radio powered for less time=better battery.
[Thunderbolt General] disorientedmind:
I live in a non 4g area and have noticed a huge difference in turning off 4g. I am using the free network app by Philipp Mangelow.
[Thunderbolt General] JDawg68:
Nice! Thanks. I'll be using this since no 4G here yet.
[Thunderbolt General] milan03:
You'll save way more juice by dimming that 4.3" screen than killing the LTE radio unless you can't get LTE.
[Thunderbolt General] Dlnp22:
a ray of hope! I'm in good 4G coverage 24/7. Just set on LTE only.

Please God.......
[Thunderbolt General] kpitao:
Thanks for the post
[Thunderbolt General] Dlnp22:
I'm still at about same battery life- approx 6 hours or so.........

I had switched to LTE only on Sat morning.
[Thunderbolt General] stevessvt:
So, in order for it to quickly switch from 4g to 3g, both radios are on all the time, correct? So if I force 4g in a well covered LTE area, this will save some juice by turning the 3g radio completely off?
[Thunderbolt General] SoDev:
This. I couldn't imagine this working better unless it was simply a toggle. It's only not an on/off toggle because there are more options than that.
[Thunderbolt General] infamousxsniper:
3g doesn't seem to come on when I pick the cdma.

Hi there guys, That's it .

After reaching my highest limit of searching / installing / removing , z4root , super onclick, which btw none work, I am on the edge, basically , loosing my mind, and all I would like to do is just root my phone and have it working properlly and faster.

Now there are so many old root methods as the one I tryed Does any of you guys can help me out and explain how do I root my Samsung Galaxy S I-9000, with froyo 2.2 firmware ?

Thank you Omri.

flash speedmod kernel.. or cfroot kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
Can you see phone from the PC?

It sounds like the Odin method of flashing a custom kernel is not an option (if not try that - lots of info in the kernel posts)?

If your computer is not recognizing the phone try remove and reinstall drivers and kies and then also clean out the port on the phone with alcohol (and try another usb cable if you have one).

That my two bits. I tried in vain to root from the phone alone with 2.2 but finally got odin working by cleaning the port and now the possibilities are endless.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juvenileomri:
What exactly is this "Flashing / Kernel" options exactly , because the computer recognizes the USB just fine. ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
See here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822756

This is for speedmod (if you need other options go to the stickies in the development section and look for the kernel list near the bottom of the stickies).

Follow the procedure for Odin installation. You will need to ensure you can go into download mode (Vol Down, home and power buttons to see - it should show android with a shovel in yellow - you can pull the battery to stop it if just checking but don't touch anything while Odin is working). If you cannot get 3 button download working, look for that fix in the forums too. I did not have that issue so I can't point you in the right direction there.

I think hardcore's page (author of the rom) has a link to an Odin guide. But its worth getting to know a bit as it will save your bacon if you need to get back to stock for warrenty.

Once you have this rom you'll be rooted and have clockwork Mod which allows flashing from the phone if you like (most custom roms are based on CWM installation). This is what I did once I got mine back from warrenty with 2.2 and then I flashed Darky's rom keeping the stock modem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRkMyk:
If you are stuck at "waiting for device"

do not exit Super One Click

1. pull out the usb from the phone,

2. turn off by pulling out the battery

3. put the battery back, turn on & plug in the USB
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Dark3n:
Hi XDA,

i made this little app i would like to share with you.

It allows you to test if you have successfully rooted your device and it can turn anoying sounds off.

It has 5 sounds to turn off at the moment, these were the ones i found most anoying on my sgs :D.

If there are others to turn off or they are named different on your device please tell me.

This is build on the Samsung Galaxy S so it might not work on other devices, but maybe we can get it to work!

This app needs root, to mount /system as read+write and then rename the sound files.

It is pretty safe, everything is reversable and not much can go wrong.

Still, if something explodes, burns or starts radiating, i won't take any responsibility ;).

Currently supported are:

Will be very helpful if full battery notification is removed, right now I´m on 30 percent, so I can´t give any feedback until tomorrow. Usb sound is not too annoying, but I´d remove it as well. About shutdown sound, I have removed it already with SGS Tools. Thanks!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Izkata:
Is shutdown.ogg also used for startup? 'Cause it's about as annoying.

(I usually just turn the phone to Silent before turning it off, it silences shutdown and bootup)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Dark3n:
I think the startup sound is part of the bootanimation.

But i will take a look at it.

edit: i think i found it, for the mesmerize the shutdown file seems to be "/system/media/audio/ui/0405_PowerOff.mp3"

I will work something out for the next version :-).

Edit2: I have uploaded a new version, if you could click the new debugInfo button and tell me what it says i can adapt the files paths for the mesmerize :D.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Aylarth:
I'm sorry, but...

...FOR ME, I repeat, for me its a pointless app, because why bother with the file renaming, if I can simply erase the whole /system/media folder with root access, and then I still can use my own ringtones, without all these annoying default "noises", oh pardon, lets call them sounds. :)

So now you made an app for something wich can be simply deleted, and then it wont take any memory at all, instead of leaving behind renamed junks.

Btw, I lol'ed about the shutdown.ogg problem; the boot sound is not part of the bootanimation LOL, that comment was just dumb. (no offense, but you can take it if you like, still, I dont mean it that way)

This is little offtopic but can anyone tell me why i can't mount /system to -rw?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Gerusz:
Not everyone hates everything Samsung included in the stock ROM so passionately. :) I, for one, am using some of those sounds, "Cloud", for example.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Gerusz:
How about an option to replace these sounds with custom sounds either individually, or from a ZIP-file ("sound theme")? Maybe later with an integrated OGG-transcoder? Yeah, it wouldn't be easy... maybe make it open source?

(Answer in advance to those who will inevitably say that this could be done with CWM: this app is for those who don't really want to mess around in the recovery menu. Yes, I could probably make a CWM zip with custom sounds (like a GlaDOS theme, or something), but it's not necessary and this app has the potential to become a complete sound theming suite.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Perka:
Very nice :)

I hate those sounds :p

EDIT: so what if I have 5 files that are renamed? How much space is that? pfff, come on pls.

Do I really need to flash to stock before I flash a ROM everytime? IT GETS SOO ANOYING.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
I do, its not that big a deal. Place CWM update.zip in the root of your SD card, place desired ROM somewhere on the card. Odin to stock allow to fully boot, then restart into recovery. Flash CWM, then flash ROM from CWM. You don't need to root or use ROM manager.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crystalhand:
I do the same thing it's not that big of a deal to go back to stock. It eliminates any problems you might run into
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1tontomato:
I don't I have had my captivate since august and have only used odin three times. There are a lot of reasons why flashing stock is neccesary, but just switching from one rom to another is kind of a waste. One reason is 3e recovery. It is easier to flash stock 2.1 not 2.2 and then flash a new rom as the above post says just put the update.zip and newrom.zip on the root and install. Once you are on a custom rom with a custom kernal you can use the options in recovery to flash another rom. I just factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, and flash, if you really want to wipe everything you can go into mounts and storage and wipe everything, but the boot again. Then go to mount usb and copy over the rom from the computer, and then flash. The update script included in the new rom will wipe everything once again. If you have problems, like you got a bad flash, try flashing the same rom over again. Its kind of rare to get a bad flash. In short just flash over if you have problems then use odin.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aryn.galadar:
When switching kernels

I typically flash back to stock when I'm going from one kernel to another. If the ROM I'm on and the ROM I'm going to use the same kernel (or at least the same line, i.e. two different versions of SuckerPunch), I usually skip the back-to-stock step.

[Milestone XT720 General] grcd:
I accept that I am partly 'cheating', as this is not a fair comparison at all. The first numbers are for pure stock 2.1 without JIT or OC, so it runs at 720MhZ. SetCPU was used and set on Performance, to get the best juice out of it.

On the other hand, Dexter's 1.3 Froyo was set to 1GHz with Milestone Overclock + SetCPU set to Performance. JIT is enabled by default on 2.2. Here are the results, which push the phone above stock speeds for Desire and Galaxy, and on par with Droid X 2.2:

BEFORE (2.1):

@720MHZ

SHORT BENCH: 284

LONG BENCH: 1700

NATIVE BNCH: 1203/488

QUADRANT: 527

AFTER (2.2.1):

SHORT BENCH: 176

LONG BENCH: 518

NATIVE BNCH: 849/344

QUADRANT: 1247

Note: In the Benchmarks lower is better. In Quadrant, higher is better.

The increase in Quadrant is from the mid 500s range up to around 1250. I run several tests and the lowest I ever got was 1114, which was probably a one-off situation since most of my other scores were above 1200. I could have tried a higher OC which would probably result in even faster scores, but sadly my CPU is unstable at anything above 1GHz.
